<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">Reader's Comment: </font>
<br><font face="Arial,Helvetica">Indeed not. I used 2,000-4,000 mg/day
on a 13 pound cat!</font>
<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">Reader's Question: </font>
<br><font face="Arial,Helvetica">What sort of C did you use for the cat?
I found they can be so picky they won't drink strong solutions of the acid,
and they are particular about smells and such. I had great results but
I don't remember how much I got the critter to drink.</font>
<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">Reader's Answer:</font>
<br><font face="Arial,Helvetica">It's been a while, but I believe it was
powdererd calcium ascorbate. I didn't attempt to get her to
drink it, but mixed it in various food substances she likes. She
was very good about it, which has been my experience in general with getting
critters to eat supplemental nutrients when they most desperately need
them. It's like they "know" on some kind of deep level that they
need it to get well, because the healthy ones around them won't touch it,
and look at them like they're crazy to eat it!</font><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font>
<p><i><font face="Arial,Helvetica">DY.com's Comment:</font></i>
<br><font face="Arial,Helvetica">Sick animals "know," all right.
First thing a sick animal usually does is go off its food. That is
almost certainly how therapeutic fasting originated. Observing my
dog twenty-five years ago certainly contributed to starting me off on the
subject. The dog, who once had a high fever, just stayed in his bed for
three days (except for water and doggie outdoor duties), and got up healed.
I had called the vet, who said it was perfectly all right to let the dog
manage his own illness.</font>
<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">If dogs can, humans can. And with
sufficient vitamin C, it's a lot easier, too.</font>
<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">And your cat *makes* vitamin C at that.
So do dogs, and wolves, and foxes. For infection, I know people who
take 1,000 mg/day, trumpets it to the world as a megadose, fail, and have
no recourse left but drug-and-cut.</font>
<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">Biggest mistake people make when using
vitamin C against illness: they take the amount of vitamin C they think
*ought to* work, not the amount that *does* work.</font>
<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">Reader's Comment:</font>
<br><font face="Arial,Helvetica">I used 2,000-4,000 mg/day on a 13 pound
cat!</font>
<p><i><font face="Arial,Helvetica">DY.com Comment:</font></i>
<br><font face="Arial,Helvetica">Some cats (and dogs) will take a fairly
sizable quantity of ascorbic acid vitamin C in a snack of egg yolk or sour
cream. For a cat with severe bronchitis, I once used a 50cc plastic
medical syringe for an oral feeding. With gentle use of the syringe,
it is possible to coax several grams of pure ascorbic acid dissolved in
water into the side of the cat's mouth without too much trouble. Not all
of it gets down, but enough did such that the cat was better almost overnight.
Wrapping kitty in a towel before proceeding will gently restrain it.
IM injection is the other alternative, for which a vet would be needed,
of course.</font>
<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">Dogs are easier; a day or two off their
feed and they will eat almost anything, vitamin-laced or not. My
current dog will sit up and beg for ascorbic acid tablets. She loves
them. And, except for mandatory shots, she's never had to be taken
to the vet even once.</font><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font>
<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">Reader's Comment:</font>
<br><font face="Arial,Helvetica">I remember getting a lecture about the
ineffectiveness of my vitamin C doses from my doctor when I was taking
24 grams daily, a gram an hour. He told me to take at least 30 as I recall.</font><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font>
<p><i><font face="Arial,Helvetica">DY.com Comment:</font> </i>
<br><font face="Arial,Helvetica">With more doctors giving advice like that,
we'd need fewer doctors. Way to go!</font>
